At 1.25 million square feet, Clarence Dock is Leeds’ largest mixed-use destination, featuring 1,124 apartments, office accommodation and a range of retail and leisure facilities (including bars, shops, restaurants, a hotel and even a casino).
BPT Security has supplied an extensive range of door entry and access control systems to Southern and Redfern Security Systems for installation throughout the development.
BPT’s System 200 door entry system integrated with its ImproS2 proximity access control has been installed across several residential blocks to allow ease of access for residents, while also ensuring security from unauthorised visitors on all external entrance points.
Flat monochrome monitors in view
A modular system, System 200 has been installed by Southern and Redfern Security Systems with BPT Lynea YV flat monochrome video monitors in all 646 apartments and Targha digital entry panels on the main entrances, and is fed through a BPT concierge system for when residents are not at home.
The Lynea monitors feature superior audio quality and high definition picture image on a 4.5″ screen. They’re supplied with a large, easily identifiable button for solenoid door lock release, stair light and all the standard controls you would expect to find.
Targha entry panels are said to be the slimmest on the market (at just 28 mm deep when surface mounted) and boast an attractive design featuring a built-in rain shield, amber-coloured LED backlighting to ensure visibility and an adjustable camera. Due to the size of the development, Targha digital panels have been used to allow visitors to punch the apartment number into the keypad, as opposed to separate call buttons for all apartments.
Passive proximity access control
The ImproS2 – installed by Southern and Redfern Security Systems in several towers – is a stand-alone, passive proximity access control system for single or two-door applications. Each controller supports two proximity readers or up to four readers for full anti-passback control of two doors and up to 2,000 tags, making it an ideal system for Clarence Dock.
Winner of Best Commercial Development at the Yorkshire Property Awards, the Clarence Dock Development has proven an extremely popular destination in its own right, as well as a vibrant place to live and work.
